Proposed B.C. Christian law school attacked by pro-gay activists over voluntary morality pledge
LANGLEY, British Columbia , 29 January, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Canadian Council of Law Deans is doing its best to sabotage efforts by a respected evangelical university in BC to open the country’s first law school run by Christians , all because the university requires students to pledge to adhere to traditional Christian sexual ethics. Canada’s law deans say that Trinity Western University ’s (TWU) “community covenant” on sexual purity is “fundamentally incompatible” with the core values of Canadian law schools and the social values of diversity since it allegedly discriminates against gay, lesbian and bisexual students. TWU’s “community covenant” is a solemn pledge made by all university members to “voluntarily abstain” from “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman”. The pledge also asks that university members abstain from gossip, slander, lying, cheating, stealing, pornography, and drunkenness. William Flanagan, pres
